Displaying the coordinate system

Use GRID to display the coordinate system. You can specify color as an operand, optionally preceded by the keyword COLor. For example:


          grid red
          grid col 11

The default is grey or blue, depending on what your terminal supports.

The coordinate system is drawn with dotted lines horizontally and vertically. The maximum y-value, which is terminal-dependent, is displayed in the message field.

If you need a denser grid, specify DOUBLE (or D). For example:


          grid d
          grid b do

will draw the grid lines with a separation of 5 units.

To remove the coordinate system, use:


          grid off

You can also use the keyword SWITCH to toggle the grid status on or off.

If you often use percentages in coordinates and dimensions, use the percentage coordinate system, in which both x and y range from 0 to 100. To see the percentage coordinate system, type:


          grid % white
